Notes:
Two subspecies of Symphoricarpos albus occur in Michigan. Symphoricarpos albus var. albus is a genotype native to Michigan. The other subspecies, Symphoricarpos albus var. laevigatus is native to the Pacific Northwest. The native subspecies may be distinguished by the pubescence of the leaves and young twigs. S. albus var. laevigatus, on the other hand, has glabrous leaves and twigs. See Michiganflora.net from more information.

This is a reference guide to fleshy, bird-dispersed fruits, especially identification of seeds. It will focus on fall- and summer-fruiting plant species found in southern Michigan, but since many of these species are widespread in North America, it will be useful for a broader region. Both native and non-native species are covered.
